Home is a system which you can use to monitor all of your devices (Windows, Linux and Android)
MIT License
Home is a .NET-project/environment
where you can monitor all your devices (Windows, Linux and Android are supported). Every device
will be setuped with the appropriate ACK
-service (this service also starts on startup) which will send ACK
-requests continously (every minute) to Home.API
.
To get this working you need to setup Home.API
as a self-hosted API on your local server/or in the internet (not recommended)

(1) Each ack service has an integrated ASP.NET Core
-Service which is hosted within the service itself (for Windows you need to permit firewall permissons!). It is hosted on http://0.0.0.0:5556 to make it accessible via network (the port can be changed: Home.Data.Consts.API_PORT
). This is used for remote file access!
(2) For Home.Service.Linux
some additional tools are required to successfully gather all information and there may be some additional steps required to make screenshots working on Ubuntu > 21.04 (due to Wayland securitiy restrictions).
(3) For Wake On LAN
your device must support this feature and must be configured properply. In the wiki there is a description/tutorial how you can setup WOL for your device!
(4) To ensure that automatic client updates for Linux
works correctly you need to setup the service as described in the wiki for Home.Service.Linux
. If an update is executes the application exists and the service has set a restart timer of 10 seconds
, so without the service the application would not start again!

All information about the setup are described in the Wiki (see here: https://github.com/andyld97/Home/wiki)
To build this solution you need to have VS 2019
installed. Once it is installed and builded you can continue using VS 2022
. This is related to the fact, that VS 2022
doesn't supports .NET 4.0
and older, but obviously for older Windows versions (legacy) it is required to use .NET Framework 4.0
or even .NET Framework 2.0
.
